[quasi]

So I'm one week out of surgery today. I knew the recovery was going to suck but so far its exceeded all expectations pain wise.

I watched some recovery videos others had shared and thought not that bad. Up until yesterday the pain has been unreal most the time with spurts of comfort. Mornings and evenings are by far the worst.

I'm fairly certain I wasn't icing correctly for the first 4 days which set me way back. I was told not to ice direct it was wrapped on a tension bandage which I didn't remove. The bandage was to thick and the cold wasn't getting through. I've since removed and use a T Towel I can now feel the icing with that the pain has subsided slightly over the last few days.

I initially planned to be off work 2 weeks but unless there are some dramatic improvemts that will get extended to at least 3. If him able to tolerate sitting at my desk at home I'll work some from home.

I haven't started the rehab portion yet still to sore that said if I can work any types of stretching or heel slides in without to much aggravation I will.

Flying my mom in has been a godsend although she flys home day after next. It's been rough but finally seeing a little progress.
